A/N: I know that 'something big' is after 'I don't even know your name', but I honestly didn't know what to do for that one so I skipped it.

Shawn's pov

I'm on my way to my best friend y/n's house today. I'm pretty nervous because I'm going to ask her an important question. I'm actually going to ask her to be my girlfriend. I love her, but I'm scared that this will ruin our friendship.

We act like a couple sometimes, but then other times I feel like she only thinks of me as a friend, and nothing more.

I just don't want to ruin anything.

She doesn't live far from me so it only took about five minutes for me to get there. I walked up the steps and knocked. She opened the door almost right away, giving me a hug. I blushed a little and hugged her back.

"You've been a little distant this past week Shawn. I was so happy when you said you wanted to get together. I missed you so much." I nervously smiled at her as her words caused butterflies in my stomach.

I wanted to hug her right here in this moment. Tell her how much I love her, tell her how much I want to be with her, but I know I can't. I can't spring it on her. This has to be done the right way.

"Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about y/n." She gave me questioning look making my stomach turn. She turned to her parents in the living room.

"Here. Let's go to my room, so we can talk." She took my hand leading me up to her room. I smiled at the thought of us being together. I looked at our hands. This is how it would be everyday.

I sat down on her bed as she shut the door behind her.

"So what's been going on Shawn? You've had me really worried." She said, making my heart pound. I stayed silent. Fear took over. How am I supposed to tell my best friend I'm in love with her, and I want her to be mine?

"Shawn. Just tell me, please." She said grabbing my hand as she sat down next to me. Her touch calmed me. She made me feel like everything was okay. When I'm with her I feel better. She makes everything better.

"Do you remember when we met?" She smiled. "Yeah. We were three. We were at the park. You knocked me down and helped me back up." She laughed a little. "Our moms even said that we were holding hands by the time we had to leave. You were always such a gentleman." I smiled recalling the story.

"Time has flown by since then y/n, and you have been there for me through it all. You were there for me when I needed help with my math in middle school. You've been there for me when I've been at my lowest." I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. I looked into her eyes and found my strength to carry on.

"And I've always known that you are the one for me. I've known since I was young. It's been such a long time y/n. I don't know how you feel about me, and I don't know if this going to ruin our friendship, but I love you y/f/n. I know this is a risk, but it's worth it if it turns out right. Y/n, will you be my girlfriend?"

A huge smile crept onto her lips. She grabbed both of my hands and nodded.

"Of course I will. I've waited for you to ask that question for years. I love you so much Mendes." She placed her lips on mine, making my heart beat faster.

No one will ever understand the joy she brings me. She doesn't just make my day better. She makes my life better. She makes me better. She is my everything. I love her so much, and I'll never stop. She is and forever will be the love of my life.
